- The site specifies an orbital 3D view with a 26-zone ViewCube and A0–A4 sheets with vector PDF export.
Field notes
The described workflow treats plans, sections, elevations and 3D as views of the same model, with edits and quantities following the model rather than separate drawing files. The homepage also specifies A0–A4 sheets and vector PDF output, and lists IFC4 and DXF among the export formats. Its GitHub and MIT links provide a visible route to the project code and license.
